Hypothermia was a danger for survivors as temperatures were unseasonably cold in the Tampa Bay region - with air temperatures low as 43 degrees Sunday and water temperature 59 degrees. A small boat took them to the burnt-out remains of the boat.

Falcone said the shuttle destroyed in the fire was their one and only but it's a small price to pay knowing nobody was killed.

Darrell and his wife Shelia swam to shore, but Darrell didn't stop there.

The Pasco County Sheriff's Office originally identified the boat as the SunCruz casino shuttle, which was its former name, Fifer said. "These people had been totally submerged in the water".

"I just want to make sure they're okay, and you know, it's hard, because you want to try to save them", Jandali's mother, Hala Sahloul, said.

"All of us, my family and the neighbors, brought them towels and water", Jandali said.

The shuttle boat takes gamblers three miles offshore, where a casino boat floats in global waters.

The casino boat was headed towards global waters after it embarked from port in Pasco County, just north of Tampa.

Once the fire is extinguished, officials will begin an investigation to determine the cause.
